- Summary
- This guidebook calls for a new community policing approach to victim identification that would provide a solid platform for the broadinvolvement of various public institutions, civil society groups a community representatives in the identification of trafficked persons. Effective community policing means building meaningful and productive relationships between police officers and individuals within communities so as to develop trust and confidence in the police within those communities. When such trust has been achieved, people will be more willing to come forward to report suspicious activity and concerns.
